A series of speakers sharing their ground breaking science and their journeys as women in a predominantly male subject area. Do You Think You Want to Be a Scientist? Comments from Women in Bioinformatics for High School Students

This week's tip is on PolyPhen, a predictor of nonsynonymous SNP impacts on protein functions. For more information about PolyPhen and SNP functional prediction see the blog post: http://blog.openhelix.eu/?p=6867

This tip introduces BioGPS, a gene annotation portal that enables searching and visualization of integrated data on genes and regions with great customization features. For more details see http://blog.openhelix.eu/?p=6261 .

This video tutorial explores advanced search through the Neuroscience Information Framework, a dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources (i.e. data, materials, and tools). In the tutorial, semantic search is explored and how one can use the NIF ontologies to refine, expand, and customize the search/discovery process.

You've done your experiments and you have a list of genes that might be of interest, but…what now? Or you keep seeing the term "ontology term enrichment analysis" in the papers you're reading and, well, you have a vague idea of what that means, but you aren't really sure. Whether you're interested in information about gene functions, diseases, phenotypes or pathways, this video provides an overview of what ontology term enrichment analysis is and how you can use the "widgets" in RatMine...
